What Shahrur Says

The passage attributed to Muhammad Shahrur, The Book and the Qur’an contains a clear requirement concerning premises: «Premises must be true and correspond to objective reality.»

The Atlas’s Explanation

The Atlas explains the statement as making the correspondence of premises to reality an essential condition when considering any argument.

Conclusion

Accordingly, the atom describes the truth of premises as a methodological condition for a true judgment. This formulation is a synthetic inference from the documented statement, not a verbatim quotation of a complete statement about “judgment.”

Open Question and Limits of the Evidence

The available passage does not explain the meaning of “objective reality” in detail, nor does it clarify the relation of this condition to formal logical consistency or to the ordering of premises and conclusion. It is therefore not valid to attribute a detailed position on these matters to Shahrur on the basis of this passage alone.

For broader context: the contemporary reading method and The Book and the Qur’an.
